Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components
The Power Isolation Switch (29) will now need to be installed. If available, the ideal location for the
isolator switch is inside the battery compartment; usually there is a space to the side of the battery.
The chosen location needs to be one that will mean the Isolation switch is easily accessible in the
event that the system needs to be switched off in an emergency. Nuts and bolts are provided to mount
the switch but please substitute as necessary if they are not of a suitable type.
Install the Isolation Switch (29) between the battery and the Control Unit (Fig.13) on the positive [+]
cable (14), using two of the 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors (23) to link the cable to the switch
terminals. These connectors will require crimping to the end of the wires. Ensure to leave sufficient
wire length to reach from the battery to isolation switch and from isolation switch to electronics box.
On the positive cable between the isolation switch and electronic control box, the fuse will also need
installing. To do this, mount the 120A fuse (32) into the In-line Fuse case (31). Cut the positive [+]
cable where necessary and again crimp 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors (23) to either end to allow
mounting to the fuse. The fuse case (31) can be screwed to a wall or floor in the same way as the
electronics control unit.
With the supplied battery wires (14,15), proceed to wire the battery to the electronics box, via the
previously installed isolation switch and fuse, as outlined in the wiring diagram (Fig.13). 6mm Terminal
Ring Connectors are already attached to the battery wires for connection to the electronics box, whilst
two sizes of ring connectors (22,23) are supplied for connection to the battery itself.
Caution! Do not attempt to amend wiring that is connected to the battery and live. Always
ensure that wires are disconnected from power when being worked on.
Caution! Ensure not to reverse the positive and negative battery connections. Incorrect
connection (reverse polarity) will result in damage to the control box.
The motor wires (12,13) now need connecting to the system. Again using Fig.13 for reference,
proceed to route the motor wires (12,13) through the hole previously drilled in the vehicle floor and
along the underside of vehicle toward the designated motors. Supplied are various components which
will aid with the safe fixing of these wires, including: Convoluted Cable trunking (11) - to protect the
wires from sharp edges, P-clips/screws (19,20,21) - for mounting the wires to surfaces, and Cable Ties
(27) - to fix wires together or to sections of the chassis where necessary. Cable Number (25) and
Polarity (26) markers are also supplied to aid with labelling of wires for ease of installation. When
routing the wires, aim to keep these as central along the caravan as possible in attempts to keep the
wiring the same length.
As with the battery wires, when satisfied with the routing, proceed to crimp the provided 4mm terminal
ring connectors (24) onto the ends of the wires for connection to the electronics box. The spade
connectors for attaching to the motors are already fixed to the end of the motor wires (12,13).
NOTE: Depending on regulatory requirements, which vary depending on your location, it may be
necessary to install heavier gauge cabling between the battery, isolation switch, fuse and control unit
when installing a four motor system. Please consult your dealer for further details if necessary.
Once all wires are correctly attached as per Fig.13, the electrical installation is complete.
